It would be nice to have a "newContent" event fired whenever new content is built into a thread. Currently (and correct me if I'm wrong on this) we have to bind to "pageChange", "afterSearch" and "columnSort" since all three dump any existing content and insert whatever is returned by the AJAX call. The "Events" thread also says that new events may be forthcoming. Having a single event to stand in for "anything that causes new content to be swapped in" would be useful.

Our API roadmap already includes adding support for the jQuery style syntax: pb.events.on('pageChange afterSearch columnSort', function() { // do stuff });

As Wormopolis suggests, an editor API would be nice.

Yeah, it would be nice.  Unfortunately, dev time will go towards fixing the bugs in the editor that we're aware of before we work on implementing an API.

Documentation for the various dialog UIs (e.g. proboards.alert()) would also be welcome.

I'm not quite sure what other documentation you want.  www.proboards.com/developer/js/class/window already includes all the options for the dialog functions.

I've been up and down the Support board 100 times and never once come across a link to www.proboards.com/developer/.

But more to the point: thanks. I didn't even know the API had any documentation at all.

ETA: Ha! It's in the OP of this thread. I can't see for looking, apparently.
